Trimethylene oxide is a strained cyclic ether which can be used to replace carbonyl / gem-dimethyl groups during molecular modelling of bioactive molecules.[1]
It can be incorporated in various bioactive molecule and drug substances for its improved physicochemical properties, via novel C-H activation methods.[2][3][4][5]
Trimethylene oxide can also be used in the synthesis of poly(trimethylene oxide) and related polymer electrolytes.[6][7][8]

A valuable and direct method to access 2-substituted-2-phenyloxetanes by electrophilic quenching of the corresponding 2-lithiated derivative has, for the first time, been described. 2-Lithiated-2-phenyloxetane was found to be configurationally unstable. Evidence is presented to show that electron-transfer processes are also
